Since the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic on March 11th 2020, cases have continued to increase rapidly.

This will be the first of many shows created by Couch Concerts Live, a new streaming platform that presents major artists’ performances in support of those suffering from the effects of global crises, from COVID-19 to climate change and more.
The partnership between TARI Global, American Artist Company, The Temple Company, Africa’s foremost full service agency headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria and Jam Management Group brings together a team with the reach, experience and expertise that will enable them to support International Medical Corps on a global level.
Temple Company’s Idris Olorunnimbe, Group Chief Executive Officer said, “We recognised the importance of this collaboration as a critical factor needed to helped creative economies and the world recover from the harsh impact of the pandemic. We need each other to pull through and no one must be left behind. As part of our inclusivity agenda as an African creative agency, we are excited to play our part in pushing Africa to world. We are also happy to help support the frontlines in the battle against COVID 19. This is the first of many of such partnerships and we cannot wait for more.”
Nathan Tari, CEO of TARI Global, and Founder of the event, said, “The entertainment industry has been hard hit by the pandemic. While we were staying safely at home, we put our heads together and decided to use our talent and experience to do something in support of those suffering from the outbreak of this terrible virus.
